Need suggestion about the optical drive for Satellite 5100 503

Hello
I have a little trouble with CD-RW/DVD for Toshiba Satellite 5100 503 drive. He writes about 1/5 CD - r and only if I write< 400mb="" of="" data.="" i="" tried="" cleaning="" the="" lens="" -="" no="" help.="" tried="" both="" win="" xp="" writing="" software="" and="" nero="" -="" no="">
Do you know if I can replace the drive for a DVD burner? And if yes - which model?

Hi Piotr,

You can replace your new CD burner with vurtually any DVD burner that is the same physical size, but you should make sure that the new Recorder has a set-up similar to your current drive configuration.

In general, the reader will be configured as Master, Slave and Cable Select (Csel), by the manufacturer and must match the configuration of your current player. One of the tools of Nero will show you the current drive configuration.

Unfortunately, most retailers do not show configuration and with slim-line readers, there is no DIP switch that allows you to change it.

Kind regards

    So, I bought a Satellite L850 as twe weeks and I am yet to know which driver do I need.
    I mean, it's better is one that comes with Windows Update or do I need to download it myself? I can watch videos and play games pretty decently while I don't mind so far.

    > I mean, it's better is one that comes with Windows Update or do I need to download it myself?

    The Toshiba driver page driver is usually the right one. Updated the and designed for the use of the laptop.
    But if don t have problems even while playing the game, don t change. You know: never change a system running ;)

  • Need to buy the optical drive for M100 - problem accersories

    Hi everyone, my problem is not the compatibility of disks currently on the market. I just bought a beautiful M100 P 1.3 GHz IR/BT/LAN/WFb/g but without a drive. As I looked for a problem including the addition of accessories has occurred. A kind of grid and a reduction is necessary, but I can't find one of these things on the pages of toshiba. In fact the new readers are not compatible with my NB . Can someone tell me what to do about it? I'm waiting for my OS to crush and what then? No cd no OS not working, NO WAY! Thanks for your help.

    According to me, it will be much easier if you buy an external pcmicia card driver that is compatible with the computer and allows you to restore the system in the future.

    Hello:

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01713747.PDF

    Replacement of optical discs with reference numbers HP are in Chapter 3, page 33.

    You can also read the instructions in Chapter 4 on removing the drive and get the number off of it, which is normally on a white sticker.  A reference to 6 digit-3 digit number (123456-001)

    You can search by the number of coin on eBay for a used camera but work or you can probably buy a new one at HP by entering the part number on the link below.

  • Question on the infrared driver for Satellite Pro U400 - 12 p

    I downloaded the infrared driver for Satellite Pro U400 - 12 p
    When I run the Setup, I get an error that says "the installation of the windows package file is not complete" or something like that.

    Anyway, he said that the Setup file is in ruins. Tried downloading it several times.

    Hope I have posted this question in the right forum.
    Thanks for help.

    When you download the driver to extract it to a folder created on your desktop. From there start the setup.exe file. It should work.

  • Need the latest version of the video driver for Satellite A200

    Excuse for my English PLZ! I need the latest driver for 7300 Go (for most games and AutoCad).
    Now it is my driver: NVIDIA, 23.08.2007, 6.14.11.5655, Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher.Thank you very much.

    Hello

    The latest graphics drivers are published on the European driver Toshiba page.
    Access the driver page and select your notebook series in download form.

    Please understand that the original Toshiba graphics drivers are not the same thing as the graphics drivers from nVidia or an ATI page.
    Own graphics drivers from Toshiba are changed and support a graphics card, protection against overheating.

    It is very important that the graphics driver will support this protection overheating to avoid overheating of the GPU.
    As you know that graphics cards for portable computers do not have cooling huge modules like desktop graphics cards and that is why the software/driver must control performance and the dissipation of the heat.

    To cut this story. The latest drivers are always published on the page ;)

  • Optical drive for Satellite P10 554

    Hello!

    I need to replace the DVD burner for my SP10-554 (PSP10E-00NK5-GR model number). Which drives should I use?
    I don't have a DVD burner, a CD burner will do for everyday...

    Thanks for your replies!

    Martin

    HI Martin,

    If you replace your CD player because of an error, then it is probably better to replace it with a similar model. This way you can be assured that it will be fully compatible.

    However, you can replace your optical drive with a variety of other brands as long that you choose one that is specifically for portable use. These are usually referred to as 'slim' or 'slimline '. You may find that some components, such as the collar do not exactly match your laptop.

    Drivers tend to be fairly generic Windows XP, but you may need to download additional drivers if you want to use DVD-RAM discs.

    Toshiba to adapt different brands in their notebooks (Mat * a, TEAC, Toshiba, etc) then you a reasonable range from which to choose.

    Try Googling for the appropriate players. Prices vary slightly.

  • HP Pavilion 15-e073ca: 2nd HARD drive cart, replace the optical drive for HP Pavilion e073ca 15 Notebook PC &amp; Windows 10

    Hello!

    I intend to add an SSD in my two years 15-e073ca HP Pavilion Notebook PC. I found some sites that I can remove the optical drive and put a second drive using a caddy adapter in the optical drive Bay. I found that some people on the forum did it successfully, but nothing on my PC model. I want to know if he could work with my product.

    In other words, there is my plan:

    1 remove the real disk HDD hard bay and replace it with the new SSD.

    2. remove the optical drive and replace it with the adapter caddy containing my old HDD.

    3. do a clean install of Windows 10 on the SSD, using a recovery USB stick made with my system Windows 10 real (which has been updated from Windows 8.1).

    I plan to purchase the following parts:

    1 - a HDD / SSD cart adapter for HP Pavilion 15 (model OBHD9-SATA-SATA-BU9), of NewmodeUS (http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_5&products_id=583)

    2 - a SSD 128 GB (article SDSSDHP - 128G), SanDisk (http://www.sandisk.com/products/ssd/sata/ultra-plus/?capacity=128gb)

    I have a few questions before I buy parts:

    1 - the two drives (my old HDD and the new SSD) are recognized by the motherboard / BIOS and the operating system (Windows, 10)? Is there a limit to a unique HARD/SSD disk drive on the computer?

    2 - the height of the SSD is 7mm, and it seems that my old HDD is 9.5 mm in height (model WDC WD10JPVT-60A1YT0). It would cause no problem (I need to add spacers)?

    3 - these parts work together and with my computer (size, compatibility)? You can expect any problems with this upgrade?

    4 - clean install Windows 10 quote, because I intend to install it on a different drive than the one I used to create the key USB recovery flash? I have never done a clean install of Windows before.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Haghe

    Your plan is perfect. The SSD to will of 7 mm that always come back fine it just will be lower in the caddy. The holes and SATA connections are in the same place as a hard drive of 9.5 mm. You can use a spacer (many SSD include one in the box) but not really necessary.

    Installing SSD for Windows 10 the way you expect is not really "own", that he will again introduce files and programs, in my opinion and certainly drivers. Whatever it is, it works perfectly and activates the old installation has been enabled.

    The hard disk in the optical adapter will not be bootable and will transfer the data a bit slower than a drive in the main compartment, but will still be usable for most cases. If you need fast input/output like Photoshop or video editing move the job file to the first SSD. Alternatively, you may wish to consider documents and photos and other migration on the HARD drive to keep the 128 GB SSD to fill. You can right-click on these files and select 'place' and move them. After the back if you need some help with that.

    Enjoy.

  • Identification of compatible optical drives for Satellite 1800

    Hello

    I want to upgrade the optical drive on my laptop Toshiba S1800-314, which is about 10 years old.
    When I had installed is the original - a CD Teac CD-224th.

    However, it is the first time I upgraded to an optical drive, and I don't know how I should go about identifying the compatible players and I can't find anything useful on the Internet. Can someone advise me?

    There are a variety of optical drives listed in my manual that were mounted in the S1800 series and I guess that's not compatible, but I can't see them having a higher yield compared to discs later.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    > There are a range of optical drives listed in my manual that were mounted in the S1800 series and I guess that's not compatible, but I can't see them having a higher yield compared to discs later.

    You're right, that you will not get performance gain after update ODD (optical disc).
    I m not very well why you want to add new ODD, but to my eyes, this replacement is unnecessary.

    I wanted to update my graphics (Intel HD Graphics 3000), then I went to Intel for the update and he told me that "a computer custom manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update utility is not able to update the driver. Install a generic Intel driver instead of the driver from the computer manufacturer custom can cause technical problems.
    Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer.

    After, I went to the Toshiba drivers and search for the driver, but the version of my graphics card was equal your driver, 4 years there is not updated and the last update of the Intel HD Graphics 3000 is 15.28.22.64.3517 (04/10/2014)
    Why Toshiba didn't so not updated the graphics card?

    Update drivers for mobile machinery is quite limited, and that's the big difference between desktop computers and mobile machines.
    Due to the specific design and cooling system that the machine has GPU must be controlled. With the new driver GPU can offer more performance, but it results in more heat which can be dangerous for the laptop's hardware.

    That is why the laptop manufacturers offer these updates and offer just suitable display drivers. If you try to download the driver of the GPU manufacturer directly there is always an indication to use the driver from the support page for your laptop's manufacturer.

  • Driver update for Satellite 5100 503 with NVIDIA geforce4 440 Go

    Hello there,
    It is a German call...
    I need an update of the graphics driver to a computer laptop toshiba satellite 5100 503, the nvidia geforce4 440 Go, that you can't get on the nvidia site, where have no mobile system to get.
    My laptop is quite slow. I want just to speed up its performance.
    Thank you outthere

    This old laptop model is certainly not longer supported and you do not find an update on the Toshiba support page. What you can do is to look around to find the laptop with the same graphics card, but maybe with newer driver and try to install it.

    Can you please tell us why you need more graphics performance? For games?
